Interior design advice + inspiration

Mood Board: Refreshed

If you harbor even the slightest interest in interior design, chances are you’re familiar with mood boards. I’d never made a mood board, oddly, but this week I had my chance in my Interior Materials class.

We were each assigned words and instructed to create a mood board that evoked that word, using at least several colors, paints, fabrics, furniture choices, etc. The goal wasn’t to design a specific room but rather to visually express a feeling.

I was assigned the word “refreshed.” Using the amazing Luis Barragán and his Mexico City home as inspiration, I chose an orange/fuchsia/white/azure color scheme with modernist details. I wanted the ‘refreshed’ effect to be more ‘mango and raspberry sorbet’ than ‘blue and green spa’ — I wanted to avoid anything obvious.
